Today we had a visit from Jill Hood, Health Improvement Officer. We learned about the dangers of smoking.
We got to have a look at some of the chemicals in cigarettes. These include
as well as many more dangerous chemicals.
We also got to see a healthy lung and that of a smoker — the difference was huge!!!
We’ve had a brilliant day fundraising for Children in Need. The primary 7s had some fantastic stalls set up and in our class we had a sponsored times table-athon!
Each time the whistle blew throughout the day, we had to stop our work and take part in a times table challenge – playing Beat my Score and Hit the Button. Altogether, in Primary 5A, we raised £159.62 and we answered 3761 times table questions correctly!!!
Today Jill Hood came in to our class to talk to us about alcohol. She is a Health Improvement Officer.
We learned:
Kealan – alcohol can be bad for you. It can make you act differently.
Chenet – it takes one hour for a unit of alcohol to leave our body
Peter – three things which could have alcohol in them are beer, wine and vodka
Lauree-Ann – children shouldn’t drink alcohol. Adults shouldn’t drink too much.
Michael – you need to be 18 before you can drink alcohol
Jenna – you need to have proof that you are 18 to buy alcohol
Theo – nine out of ten adults drink alcohol
Jed – more than 100 people die each year from alcohol
Michael – alcohol can make you sick
The picture below shows the effect of drinking alcohol on our bodies.
Today we had a visit from Michael Coutts from Dogs Against Drugs.
He brought with him a lot of equipment which we got to try on.
He also let us try on handcuffs.
We also got to meet Blade, a trained drugs dog.
We learned a lot and really enjoyed the visit. Thank you!
It is James’ birthday on Sunday. We hope he has an amazing day!
We had an assembly yesterday with a visitor from the WE Movement, Alex Monk.
Lauree-Ann – I enjoyed the assembly!
Kealan – We learned that we can change the world by a little action!
Chenet – We need to be nice to each other and listen
Peter – We can be anything we want to be. Just like in the Lego Movie
Jenson – The man had been to Africa and built a school there
We have had a spook-tacular day today! Some of us dressed up.
We started our day by creating a pumpkin. We took it in turn to draw the features which Miss McIntyre cut out at break time. We got the chance to try pumpkin if we wanted. Not all of us were very sure about it!! Here are some photos:
We shared some of our favourite Halloween jokes. Here are a selection:
When do vampires fall in love? Love at first bite.
Why didn’t the skeleton go to the disco? He had noone to go with.
What is a ghost’s favourite food? Ice SCREAM!!
We ended the day with a party and saw which team could make the best zombie. All four looked super!
Today we were lucky to see a concert by visiting musicians from Northumberland. They travelled up on a bus called Travelsure. The bus driver was really cool and gave us high fives!
There were lots of instruments, including a drum which looked like a fridge. There were also fiddles, a mandolin, a harp, a guitar, a flute, Northumberland small pipes and a cello.
We thought the concert was good and epic. We hope they can come back again!
A big thank you to our photographer for the event – James!
Today we sang happy birthday to Jed and Kealan who both have birthdays in the holidays. We can sing the song in French as well as English. Maybe after the holidays we will add another language to this.
Here is a photo of them both with their cards!
We hope everyone has a super holiday!
Today we learned what it is like to be an astronaut. We watched a video from when Tim Peake was on the International Space Station and tried astronaut food!
